Do You Hate Jesus?

It is a solemn thought, that many sinners who hear the gospel, hate Jesus. Hate Jesus! Yes, though He is . . .
infinitely wise,
exquisitely beautiful,
perfect in holiness,
unparalleled in goodness,
almighty in power, and
the very personification of love!

Jesus, who is represented by . . .
the gentle lamb,
the fructifying dew,
the safe refuge,
the fragrant rose,
the desire of all nations,
and the altogether lovely one!

Jesus, who . . .

Maria, profound thought that men do actually hate Jesus. Caused me to think back to a time in my life when I was angry with God. Ellen was in deep depression.

Jerry, Paul posts similar thoughtful posts on his blog that you would appreciate. Thank you for commenting – I look forward to your post about the difficult time you two went through, a time when anger became part of your life.

Eph 2.14-16 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby
We chose enmity in the Garden of Eden. 😕 We will continue to choose enmity until God quickens our spirits and brings us to Jesus, our peace.

Yes, Kathy, we will. Today after the shooting at the synagogue many are asking when the hatred will end. I know from what you’ve said that you’ll agree that hatred will only end when the Prince of peace returns. ❤
